Abstract (en)
[origin: WO2012127421A1] A bicycle simulator ( 1 ) is basically constituted by a bicycle pre-arranged for static or pseudo-static use. The bicycle comprises front and rear supports (13, 14) for resting on the floor ( 12) that simulate the contact of the wheels of a normal bicycle on the road. The two supports are preferably constituted by a front supporting wheel (1 3) and by a rear supporting wheel ( 14) that rest on the floor and support in a freely rotatable way the respective wheel axles (3, 1 1). Rotatably mounted within at least the front supporting wheel is a flywheel (Fl, F2). The front flywheel (F l ) is set in rotation by a respective electric motor (M) or by a transmission driven by the pedals, for creating a stabilizing gyroscopic effect, which enables the user to maintain his balance when pedalling with the bicycle stationary, resting on the floor via the supporting wheels in a static condition. The crank axle is connected to a driven member, which is independent of said front support (13) and of said rear support (14) and is constituted by a rear flywheel or even by the front flywheel itself.
